Orla

Read full description

Orla keeps your menopause record on your iPhone. No account, no sign-in, nothing to be locked out of. Before an appointment it turns what you logged into one dated PDF: every symptom, every HRT dose, with the dates. 7 days free, then a monthly or yearly plan. Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. A RECORD THAT STAYS YOURS There is no account to make and no password to forget. Everything you log is stored on this iPhone, and you can delete a single entry, or all of it, from Settings. An app update does not ask you to sign in again. LOG WHAT YOU FEEL, WHEN YOU FEEL IT Hot flashes, night sweats, trouble staying asleep, mood changes, brain fog, joint pain, palpitations, vaginal and urinary changes, low libido, skin and hair changes — 30+ symptoms in all. Pick the symptom, pick how strong it was, and Orla fills in the time. Even at 2am. EVERY HRT DOSE, WITH ITS DATES Log hormone therapy properly: type, dose and route (patch, gel, spray, tablet and more), plus supplements. When your dose changes, Orla keeps the old one on a dated timeline instead of overwriting it, so the record shows the dose you stopped and the dates it ran, not only what you are on today. That history is exactly what a clinician asks about. PERIODS, OR NO PERIODS Periods in the transition get irregular, skip, or stop — and plenty of people are not cycling at all. Orla logs whatever is actually happening without forcing a "cycle" frame on you. In the first questions you can answer "Stopped altogether" or skip the cycle question entirely, and nothing in the app changes. No cycle to log is a first-class experience here, not a broken one. SEE APPLE HEALTH ALONGSIDE YOUR NOTES With your permission, Orla can read wrist temperature, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and sleep from Apple Health and show them next to your own entries. Read-only — Orla never writes anything back to Health. THE PDF, IN FULL Pick a date range and Orla builds the document: how many days each symptom was logged and at what severity, your HRT and supplement timeline with every dose and the dates it ran, and every period and spotting entry with its dates and the gaps in between. It is dated, it has your name on it, and you can bring it, print it, or email it ahead. A PLAIN-LANGUAGE LIBRARY 20 short, readable articles on what is happening during the transition and the ways HRT is commonly taken — written in plain English, so you walk in informed. NOTHING TO SELL YOU BUT THE APP Orla sells no supplements, runs no clinic and carries no advertising. It gives no advice, no scores and no interpretation — it records what you tell it and shows it back to you. No ads, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs touching your health entries. Your data is never sold. ——— Orla is a record-keeping tool, not a medical device, and does not diagnose or give medical advice. ——— SUBSCRIPTION Orla is a paid subscription with a 7-day free trial. $9.99/month or $49.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Understand what’s changing. Discover what may be helping. Keep your health data private. PeriCue is a private perimenopause tracker that does more than record symptoms. It connects your symptoms, cycles, lifestyle and treatments to reveal meaningful patterns over time—without requiring an account or uploading your personal health data. SEE WHAT’S CHANGING Track hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, mood changes, brain fog, headaches, palpitations and other common symptoms. Choose the symptoms that matter most to you and see how their frequency and severity change over time. • Log a hot flash with one tap • Quick-log symptoms from your iPhone or Apple Watch • Track symptom severity, cycle changes and daily notes • View your history in a calendar and clear trend charts • See when hot flashes tend to occur throughout the day DISCOVER WHAT MAY BE HELPING When you start or change a treatment, supplement or lifestyle habit, PeriCue compares your symptoms before and after the change. It also considers how consistently you followed the treatment, helping you interpret the result more meaningfully. • Compare symptom burden before and after a change • See treatment adherence alongside your results • Review dose changes and side-effect notes • Build a timeline of what you tried and what happened CONNECT YOUR LIFESTYLE TO YOUR SYMPTOMS Optionally track sleep, stress, alcohol, caffeine and exercise. When there is enough information, PeriCue identifies supported associations in your own data—for example, whether symptoms tend to be worse following lower-sleep nights. PeriCue describes patterns rather than diagnosing their cause. MANAGE HRT AND OTHER TREATMENTS Keep your treatment routine and symptom history together. • Track HRT, medications and supplements • Support for daily, patch-based and cyclical schedules • Record doses as taken, late or skipped • Set private, on-device reminders • Track adherence, supply and upcoming refills • Record dose changes and possible side effects UNDERSTAND CYCLE CHANGES Track periods, spotting and flow while PeriCue compares current cycles with your own earlier baseline. See changes in cycle length, days since your last period, and patterns such as persistent spotting or longer bleeding. Flags are descriptive and can help you decide what to discuss with a healthcare professional. INSIGHTS GROUNDED IN YOUR DATA PeriCue’s Weekly Brief gives you a quick summary of what improved, worsened or appeared for the first time. Educational cards surface when they are relevant to patterns in your logs and include information from trusted sources such as the NHS, NICE, The Menopause Society and ACOG. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Import supported cycle history from Apple Health or compatible Flo and Clue exports without creating duplicate events. PeriCue can also read sleep data from Apple Health to make daily tracking easier. PREPARE FOR APPOINTMENTS Create a clear, doctor-ready PDF summary of your symptoms, cycles, treatments and recent patterns to support more informed conversations with your healthcare professional. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your health information is personal. PeriCue requires no account, contains no ads and stores your tracking data on your devices. Your information is not sold or used for advertising. PERICUE PLUS Core symptom logging is free. An optional PeriCue Plus subscription unlocks: • Full tracking history • Deeper pattern and lifestyle insights • Weekly Briefs • “What’s helping?” comparisons • Doctor-ready PDF reports Monthly and annual plans are available. The annual plan includes a 14-day free trial. PeriCue provides personal tracking tools and general educational information. It does not diagnose conditions, recommend medical treatments or replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
